As Boris was born in New Your City, that should make him our problem instead of yours, shouldn't it? :)

Actually, I believe he renounced his U.S. citizenship to keep the IRS (our version of the Inland Revenue) from wanting U.S. tax deductions
with held from his salary as British P.M. :)

Yes, I think it was the main reason, but...
I am 65 percent sure that the U.S. citizenship laws do not allow one to be an elected official, or serving a foreign government. And carry on with a hairdo like that!

As I took on the U.S. citizenship two years ago, the civil laws study is still fresh, and specifically, serving in foreign military (or having a nobility title) is a non-no. Is the Brit P.M commander-in-chief, in some from?
The other farm cats didn’t super love him but the chickens thought he was alright so he became a chicken.

DJ was the man. If your life was on the line over one game, you want him on your side.

But "I have a Dennis Johnson" just isn't as funny as "I have a Magic Johnson." Even if DJ...well, let's just say his reputation preceded him by a fair distance. ;)

We seem to have gone somewhat off topic here, but to answer your question, spit and elbow grease seems to be favourite, for a Johnson.

It's a johnson Las vegas full hollow jazz box and its surprisingly beautiful and well built for a cut rate guitar. It plays very well. I haven't played it much recently as I dont play much jazz. I had it on stage a few times but it was just a little too unpredictable on stage at vol with gain. I guess I'm just no ted nugent.

Nugent's. Aomeone else here must have a legitimate johnson they can show off. They can really be decent if you have never tried one.
I have always been impressed with all the ones I've handled.

Johnson Mini Strat.jpg
3/4 size Strat style, refinished by me in blue Glitter paint. It was pink when I got it for my daughter. Some of you may remember this refin job from a couple of years ago.

I've had a couple. I cut down the headstock and added brass compensated saddles on the Tele and added a pickup and preamp on the acoustic.
